He was born April 12, 1947 to the late Denver E. and Edith Amspaugh Garrett, of Amanda, OH.  He graduated from Amanda High School in 1966.  On October 7, 1994 he married Jane Robinette Bauer, who survives.  They shared 26 wonderful years together.  Also surviving is his daughter, Stephanie (Luke) McConnell, Circleville; his grandchildren, Kenzie, Gabrielle, Liam and Mallory McConnell; stepson, Seth (Katelyn) Bauer, Chillicothe; and grandchildren, Reed, Chance, Samuel, and Wesley Bauer; a sister, Mary Ann Garrett, Canal Winchester; a brother, Mark (Diana) Garrett, Amanda; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; an uncle Dan Amspaugh, Duncan Falls, an aunt Eileen Miller, Lancaster, and uncle Don Garrett, Lancaster.  He was preceded in death by many aunts and uncles, and Jane's parents, Frank and Marguerite Robinette.

Tom retired from Kenworth Truck in 2007, following 28 years of service.  He also was honorably discharged from the US Army in 1968.  Tom loved many years of following and attending all of his daughter Stephanie's sporting events, especially girls' basketball throughout high school and college.  Then, until recently, he enjoyed watching his grandchildren play a variety of sports.  After retirement he and Jane were able to spend 8 winters in Florida.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Adena Hospice, for the excellent care and support given us, namely Jodie and Cheri, and special caregiver, Shelley Horch, who also gave much of her time and care.
